You may qualify for the Toyota airbag control unit settlement if you owned or leased one of seven 2011 to 2019 models
Last checked July 9, 2026
If you own, lease, or once owned or leased one of seven Toyota model lines from 2011 through 2019, you may qualify for cash, an extended parts warranty, and loaner vehicle reimbursement from a $78.5 million settlement. The first step is a VIN lookup on the official site.
Proof is required for cash claims: repair receipts and proof of ownership or lease. The deadline is a long way out, December 11, 2028.
The lawsuit argued that ZF-TRW airbag control units in these vehicles could fail to fire the airbags in a crash. Toyota denied liability and settled. The administrator decides eligibility, not this site.
You may qualify if
- ✓You are a current or former U.S. owner or lessee of a 2011 to 2019 Corolla, 2011 to 2013 Corolla Matrix, 2012 to 2018 Avalon, 2013 to 2018 Avalon HV, 2012 to 2019 Tacoma, 2012 to 2017 Tundra, or 2012 to 2017 Sequoia.
- ✓The VIN lookup tool at airbagcontrolunitsettlement.com confirms your vehicle has a ZF-TRW airbag electronic control unit.
What you need to file
Start with your VIN. Run it through the lookup tool on the official site before you fill anything in, because a model year match is not enough on its own.
Then pick the claim type that fits you: out-of-pocket repair costs, loaner vehicle costs, or other documented losses. Upload repair receipts and proof of ownership or lease with the form.
The official form is five steps. Budget more time than usual to gather the receipts, since the cash side of this settlement runs on documentation. Filing is free on the official site.
Deadline and what you get
Claims are open through December 11, 2028.
What you get varies by vehicle type and claim type. The settlement pays documented repair and loaner costs, adds an extended warranty on the affected safety parts, and runs a loaner program for owners who cannot safely drive while waiting on a repair. No flat per-person figure is published.
The case was consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California as MDL No. 2:19-ml-02905.
Questions about the Toyota Airbag Control Units case
How do I know if my Toyota is covered?
Enter your VIN in the lookup tool on the official settlement site. It tells you whether your vehicle carries the ZF-TRW control unit in the settlement class.
I sold the car years ago. Can I still file?
Former owners and lessees are included. You still need proof that you owned or leased the vehicle, and receipts for any costs you are claiming.
Do I need receipts?
Yes for cash claims. The form asks for repair receipts, loaner costs, and proof of ownership or lease. The warranty coverage is separate from the cash claim.
Is there a rush to file?
The deadline is December 11, 2028. That gives time to collect documents, but the administrator only pays valid claims filed by that date.
